In this painting, the artist - Lena Pwerle - uses circular designs to represent the soakages that dot her land in the Utopia region.

Lena recalls that these soakages, now all dried and used up, had plenty of water in them long ago, even when she was growing up, providing her people with a much needed water supply. With their intimate knowledge of the land, Lena’s people knew how and where to find them in their harsh desert environment.
